HAPPY COMPOSTING!! HAPPY MULCHING!!
While at the subject, composting is not much of a fun unless followed by gardening.
Come on, your read the guide, watched the video series, learnt composting and now you have nice compost with you. What next?
What is the use of going through all that if you can not use the compost, right? 🙂
Here is a tip for you.
Let some compost go back to the tree which leaves you have used for composting. yes, let the soil there get back the nutrients it has lost.
How? Simply spread the ready compost on the surface around that tree or trees.
That’s all.
With the rest of compost, you can try gardening. Oh, don;t worry, garden does not have to be very big. 1 or 2 plants in pots is also a garden.
It is all about creating a beautiful green corner for yourself in this city with concrete jungle.
